Invalid tag when deploying masterAlias

[kortac]

When deploying masterAlias with command

SLS_DEBUG=* sls deploy --verbose --masterAlias

it fails with the following error:

ServerlessError: Expected params.Tags[1].Value to be a string
      at /Users/***/WebstormProjects/***/node_modules/serverless/lib/plugins/aws/provider/awsProvider.js:327:27
      at runMicrotasks (<anonymous>)
      at processTicksAndRejections (internal/process/task_queues.js:94:5)

Reason for this is because serverless-aws-alias tries to add a tag with a boolean value:

Serverless: [AWS cloudformation undefined 0.004s 0 retries] createStack({
  StackName: '***',
  OnFailure: 'DELETE',
  Capabilities: [ 'CAPABILITY_IAM', 'CAPABILITY_NAMED_IAM', [length]: 2 ],
  Parameters: [ [length]: 0 ],
  TemplateBody: '{"AWSTemplateFormatVersion":"2010-09-09","Description":"Alias stack for *** (true)","Resources":{"ServerlessAliasLogGroup":{"Type":"AWS::Logs::LogGroup","Properties":{"LogGroupName":"/serverless/***-true","RetentionInDays":7}}},"Outputs":{"ServerlessAliasName":{"Description":"Alias the stack represents.","Value":"true"},"ServerlessAliasLogGroup":{"Description":"Log group for alias.","Value":{"Ref":"ServerlessAliasLogGroup"},"Export":{"Name":"***-true-LogGroup"}}}}',
  Tags: [
    { Key: 'STAGE', Value: 'production' },
    { Key: 'ALIAS', Value: true },
    [length]: 2
  ]
})

Versions:
serverless 1.61.2
serverless-aws-alias 1.8.0
serverless-domain-manager 4.0.0

I got the same issues too on serverless-aws-alias 1.8.0. think this bug will affect not only me and issues writer but also many users using 1.8.0 version. 😭
